ICME 2013
The 3rd International Conference on Music & Emotion was held in Jyväskylä, Finland, June 11-15, 2013. The conference was organised by the Department of Music of the University of Jyväskylä, and the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Music Research.
This conference brought together leading researchers, teachers, and practitioners from different areas of music and emotion. A series of invited keynote addresses and peer-reviewed proposals explored the ways in which emotion is encoded and mediated through musical sounds and structures, and investigated how musical emotion is conceptualised, modelled and measured. We define “Music & Emotion” in its broadest possible sense, and welcome contributions from individuals and groups working in any related field.
